Major Ben PerIey PoOre Seriously
WASHINGTON, May 18.-Major Ben
Perley Poore vas taken seriously i'll
this afternoon in his committee room
at the Capitol. The attack was the
result of overwork and heat. The
Major was overcome suddenly by sick
ness of the stomach, and quietly
tainted away. Three physicians were
soon in attendance, and in a few mo-
ments the patient was restored to con-
s%clousness. When his strength was
partially regained he was removed to
his rhom at the Ebbitt House, where
he is resting quietly. 1t is hoped
that a few days perfect rest will re-
store the Major to his usual good
health.
The Government sued for $4,000
PHILADELPHIA, May 19.-Miss Jane
E. Hall, Of Montgomery county, and
her sister, have instituted suit to re-
cover $4,000,000 from the United

it is claimed, in 1777 loaned the Col
onial Government half a million of
francs with which to pay the troops,
and during the latter years of the
struggle contributed further money.
During Washington's first administers
ton Congress allowed his claims, but
there was no surplus at the time, and
the claimant died before he received
a penny.
